Allison Jae Evans
Allison Jae Evans\n\nAllison Jae Evans is a painter whose restrained linear vocabulary draws viewers into a provocative world of seduction, objectivity, and power.\n\nHer current exhibition, Hung Up, combines painting, drawing, and installation to construct a layered narrative with references ranging from the nihilism of Richard Kern\u2019s Cinema of Transgression to more contemporary ideas about sex and human connection in the digital world.\n\nEvans was born in New Haven, CT and currently lives/works in Brooklyn, NY. She received a BA from Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH and an MFA from Hunter College in NYC. Evans's work has been exhibited at The Journal Gallery, 106 Green Gallery, Atlanta Contemporary, Edward Thorp Gallery, and Tiger Strikes Asteroid NY, among other venues. Her work has been featured in New American Paintings, Maake Magazine, and Hyperallergic, and has been reviewed in The New York Times. She was recently interviewed by artist Brian Alfred for the Sound and Vision Podcast and artist Alex Nu\xf1ez for the Sunday Painter Podcast. Hung Up is on view at Peninsula Gallery until December 10, 2022.\n\nFront Room Installation of Allison Jae Evans: Hung Up at Peninsula Art Space\n\nBack Room Installation of Allison Jae Evans: Hung Up at Peninsula Art Space\n\nInstallation Image of Allison Jae Evans' "1-900-Hot-Fuck", 2022, 24 x 18 inches, Watercolor Crayon on Newsprint, at Peninsula Art Space
